Papaya Rules Are Eating McLaren In 2026

McLaren backed Lando Norris and got the trophy. Then Oscar Piastri said Red Bull interest is 'flattering.'

McLaren's 2025 settlement is now costing them as the team is not winning...at all. Norris said in Melbourne he'd retire from Formula 1 rather than leave McLaren. Then Piastri called Red Bull interest 'flattering' before Canada. And Zak Brown's 'contracts aside' answer to The Athletic does more work than anyone noticed...that perhaps the bill from last year isn't fulfilling the deal made with number 81.

When you then consider the McLaren orange machine now spans F1, IndyCar, WEC GTs, an incoming Hypercar programme, F1 Academy and golf?! Yeah, things are I think suffering. McLaren is too thin.
